Could your grocery cart be just as important as your sunscreen drawer? In Part 2 of Rethinking Sun Protection, Dr. Katie Varman returns to explore how diet and supplements can boost your skin’s natural defense against UV damage.
We unpack how nutrients like carotenoids, polyphenols, and omega-3s reduce inflammation, DNA damage, and even sunburn risk—sometimes by as much as 40–50%. From tomatoes to carrots to niacinamide, what you eat can directly impact how your skin handles the sun.
Dr. Varman also dives into the balance between healthy sun exposure and personalized protection based on your skin type and lifestyle.
Tune in to learn how protecting your skin might just start in your kitchen.
